BJS Homestay  -Jodhpur

Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan located on the edge of the Thar desert. Its origin dates back to the year 1459 AD. The city was built as the new capital of the state of Marwar to replace the ancient capital Mandore, the ruins of which can be seen near what is now the Mandore Gardens. The people of Jodhpur and surrounding areas are hence also commonly called as Marwaris. The forts and palaces, temples and havelis, culture and tradition, spices and fabrics, colour and texture, a booming handicrafts industry, all add up to make this historic city worth a visit.
It’s a beautifully restored forty years old building located in a peaceful, safe and secure posh locality in Jodhpur. Most of the residents living here are from the warrior community whose Grand Pa’s used to work for Jodhpur Lancers – Army of Marwar Kingdom. A Walk in the colony will give you a good glimpse of the Marwari culture. It is a two storied house. Host family stays on the top floor and the guest rooms are on the middle floor.
